I started a monthly incentive chart. From August to November. For every 2:00 activity that a resident attends they get a sticker by their name. It equals to a 1.00. At Christmas i have a christmas store set up and they get to shop with their "fake money". The residents love it so much and it has really increased my attendance. I get donations from families and business all through the year. Try it, you will be suprised.
I just did the left and right game where you take small prizes and wrap them in saran wrap into a ball. You read the poem that goes with it. I found it on this site. The residents pass the ball back and forth trying to get a prize. They loved it.
